Royal Ascot 2017 – September wins the Chesham Stakes for Aidan O’Brien and Ryan Moore
Nyaleti set a good pace from the front but September showed she had plenty of stamina as she gradually got to the winner to run out a cosy winner in the end
SEPTEMBER lived up to her big reputation with a comfortable win in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Mark Johnston’s Nyaleti set a good gallop from the front and two furlongs out it looked as if she had given the field the slip.
However, the well punted Masar was chasing hard as was Aidan O’Brien’s September.
Ryan Moore kept his cool and September gradually reeled Nyaleti in to run out an impressive winner of the race.
Nyaleti held on for second with Masar in third.
Moore said: “She travelled like the winner the whole way, the Johnston horse went a good gallop and kept going, but I was always confident I would win.
“Her mother (Peeping Fawn) got better with racing and she’s definitely got some of her talent.
“You couldn’t ask for a better pedigree and as she goes further she’ll get better.”
